It is a really beautiful space, I was there with my child last weekend and shot lots of videos of the various areas. There are trees inside, play-areas for children, and many nooks for reading/resting/chatting.
This link (Finnish) has a brief video showing people cleaning the snow from the roof too, which is a semi-common occurrence in buildings/streets here in Helsinki:

- gordon_freeman 8y agoThanks for the main library link. The architecture is beautiful but does anyone agree that from the outside the building looks pretty similar to the building of California Academy Of Sciences?
- jccalhoun 8y agoI had never seen the building so I looked it up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Academy_of_Sciences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Academy_of_Sciences In the abstract the undulating roof is similar looking closer shows there are a lot of differences even in where the lumps are located
- CaptainCook 8y agoWhat an absolutely gorgeous building - thanks for sharing the links. And kudos to Helsinki for undertaking such an ambitious project. One of my fondest memories of raising our kids was taking them to our little branch library every Saturday. If we'd had an Oodi, I never would have gotten them to leave!
